This is the second round of Shen Xi's confrontation with the local three divisions of the yamen after he arrived in Guangzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the first round, Shen Xi had a draw with the political envoy and the inspection envoy, but he got the help of the commander and the envoy of the envoy, which was a slight advantage; In the second round, he directly attacked the Guangdong Salt Lifting Division, and in one fell swoop, he served the officials of the Yamen of the Salt Lifting Division, and the salt was transferred to him and won a big victory.

Looking at the angry looks of Zhang Yuanying, Lin Tingxuan and the others when they left, Shen Xi knew that these two old foxes would not give up, and when they realized that they could not compete with him head-on, they would definitely resort to some crooked methods.

Tang Yin looked worried: "Shen Zhongcheng's duty is to exterminate the bandits, but he has to wade through the troubled waters of the salt class to raise the division, and the salt is released smoothly, if there is a deviation, I am afraid that it is really as Lin Zhentai said, and he will not be able to explain it to the imperial court!" ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Even Brother Bohu has no confidence in this official? ”

Tang Yin said worriedly: "As the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Shen Zhongcheng has repeatedly embarrassed the head snake after arriving at the place, I am afraid that in the end, the old things in Fuzhou will be repeated, and I will be in a desperate situation, and I am afraid that there will not even be anyone to collect the body for us." ”

Although Tang Yin usually looks drunk and has nothing to do with himself, but he has a strong sense of self-preservation, and people who are afraid of death are always very cautious, he clearly knows that now that Shen Xi has offended the political envoy and the Yamen of the inspection envoy, people know that they are not opponents, where can there be no small actions in secret?

Sure enough, that night, Shen Xi was sleeping with Lin Dai in his arms, when he heard chaotic footsteps outside, and then heard someone shouting: "Go water, go water!" ”

Shen Xi was surprised when he was woken up, he lived in the post house, there were a hundred officers and soldiers guarding outside, and there were also brothers from the Che Ma Gang secretly watching, and someone actually came to set fire to it blatantly?

Shen Xi casually put on a piece of clothing and came out, looked around, did not see the fire, and there was no gunsmoke choking, Shen Xi looked at Zhu Shan who came out after hearing the news, and asked, "Is it shouting water outside?" ”

Zhu Shan yawned and replied, "Master, it seems to be shouting like this, but it doesn't seem to be our side of the water, but somewhere else." ”

Knowing that it was not the post house that caught fire, Shen Xi let go of his worries, went back to tidy up his clothes, and when he came out again, Ma Jiu, Zhu Qi, Tang Yin and others were already waiting in the front hall.

Tang Yin came over to play: "Shen Zhongcheng, there is a report from outside, the Yamen of the Salt Class Lifting Division is on fire, and the more than 60,000 salt that remained over there are ......."

Shen Xi waved his hand to stop Tang Yin from continuing to speak, because at this time, the people of the Political Envoy and the Inspectorate seemed to be more diligent than him, and Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan had not slept in the middle of the night, and had already arrived at the post house in an official sedan chair.

Lin Tingxuan entered the gate of the official post and saw Shen Xi at a glance, ignoring even the minimum etiquette, and asked in a discouraged voice: "Shen Zhongcheng, look at the good things you have done!" ”

Shen Xi was a little puzzled, stretched out his hands and asked, "Why did Lin Zhentai say this?" ”

Lin Tingxuan walked into the lobby and sneered: "The salt class lifting division is on fire, can Shen Zhongcheng know?" ”

"I just heard about it." Shen Xi replied, "The official was about to send someone over to understand the situation, but I didn't expect Zhang Fantai and Lin Zhentai to be so well-informed, and I didn't know that I thought that the two of them had just come from the fire." ”

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan's old faces couldn't help but turn red, obviously, they also knew that Shen Xi suspected that they were deliberately looking for someone to set this fire. But it doesn't matter, Shen Xi has no evidence, and they won't let Shen Xi find evidence.

Lin Tingxuan asked aggressively: "Shen Zhongcheng, how do you explain this matter to the imperial court?" ”

Shen Xi pursed his lips and replied disappreciatively: "What did the official explain?" This salt class raised the Yamen on fire, and it was not arson by the official, at most it was an accidental fire by walking in the water, and the yamen burned and rebuilt, what does it have to do with the official? ”

Lin Tingxuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and Zhang Yuanying next to him sneered: "Shen Dufu Mo wants to shirk his responsibility, if it weren't for the fact that you detained Chen Tiju and them during the day, so that the salt class was empty, why did you let the fire spread without anyone noticing?" Now it is not only the treasury of the Salt Division that has been burned down, but even the salt guide allocated by the household department this year has been burned clean by this fire. Xia Yan is about to come out of the salt, Shen Dufu said before that he would bear this matter, but he didn't want to admit it! ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, don't you know that the purpose of the thief is to burn the salt lead?

"The blame can only be blamed on this fire at the wrong time." Shen Xi sighed leisurely, "This official is temporarily sealing the Salt Section, but thinking that the salt introduction is very important, I can't help but want to observe and refer to it in detail, so I left all the salt introduction in the backyard, but I never thought that this fire actually burned, so that the salt introduction escaped a catastrophe." ”

"Zhang Fantai, Lin Zhentai, do you think someone deliberately set fire to it, so that the official can't come to the stage?"

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan glanced at each other, obviously not expecting Shen Xi to have foresight and not seal the salt in the Salt Division. Then this fire is equivalent to only burning the empty shelf of the salt class lifting division......

The yamen walks the water, as long as the salt is not burned, the responsibility cannot be relied on on Shen Xi, the governor.

Lin Tingxuan said: "Lord Shen really left the salt in the backyard of the post house? ”

"Lin Zhentai doesn't believe it? Come on, bring the salt out, let Lin Zhentai take a good look at whether the salt lead is wrong, if you accidentally damage the salt lead, this official will cut off your head immediately! Shen Xi's tone was solemn.

"Yes!"

Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi personally led people to the back hall to bring the salt out.

There are more than 80,000 servings of salt, and there are several boxes for salt introductions alone, and after they are carried out, Shen Xi said: "The two of you have to look at it carefully, if you fall on Mars, don't say that the official is not close to people!" ”

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Ting chose to go up and carefully check the salt citation, but just flipping through a few sheets, they knew that Shen Xi didn't say anything.

The salt was not sent to the Salt Class Lifting Division at all, indicating that Shen Xi had already taken precautions. They didn't expect that Shen Xi did things roughly, and when he was rough, he was bold and bold at one end, and when he was careful, he knew how to attack the west, and while saying that he would lead the salt to the Yamen of the Salt Section, he would leave the salt in the post house.

But in this way, it is tantamount to being played by Shen Xi as a monkey.

Shen Xi said again: "Zhang Fantai, Lin Zhentai, do you think it will be a coincidence, this day is dry, the salt class has just caught fire on the side of the lifting division, and then even the official post where the official lives will accidentally go to the water, and then another fire will burn the official along with the salt?" ”

"Oh, this official really wants to thank the two of you for coming to remind you late at night, and then you must hide the salt in a safe and reliable place, and send more soldiers to guard it, if there is any accident before the salt introduction, this official is really dead and can not be thanked."

"Two, it's late at night, and I guess you'll have to worry about retaking the salt class tomorrow to raise the Yamen, uh...... The official will not send it, and go all the way. ”

Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan felt like clowns jumping off the beam, and came out to threaten Shen Xi, but in the end they found that they were self-proposing, and they lost all their faces.

Lin Ting chose an old face that burned the fire, held back the anger in his chest, and arched his hand: "Shen Zhongcheng is better to be careful, if you go to the water and burn the salt, I'm afraid that even I won't be able to explain to the court." Leave. ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan left with people.

Shen Xi didn't go out to see him off, because he knew that this matter was basically done by Zhang Yuanying and Lin Tingxuan, even if it was not personally instructed by them, it must be an insider.

Waiting for the others to walk away, Tang Yin said angrily: "It's really lawless, even the imperial court yamen dares to burn it, so isn't it dangerous for us to live in the official post?" ”

"Brother Bohu is very worried, but since you also said that we are a strong dragon and difficult to suppress the head snake, in this land of Guangzhou Mansion, we should be cautious, don't even know what happened to die in the end." Shen Xi said, and instructed Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi, "Before the salt is introduced, you must strengthen your precautions, and you must not let the thieves succeed!" ”

Ma Jiu and Zhu Qi received the order at the same time: "Yes, master." ”

Shen Xi asked Tang Yin to go back to the inn to rest first, while he went to the inner courtyard. There was a commotion in front, and Xie Yun'er and other girls in the backyard were woken up, and they got up to check the situation.

When Xie Yun'er saw Shen Xi coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xianggong, why did you suddenly go out of the water?" Isn't it the dry weather that ignites firewood? ”

Shen Xi sighed: "The fire was deliberately set by someone, and it's hard to say who put it, but it hasn't burned to the post house for the time being, so you don't have to worry too much." Hmph, these thieves are becoming more and more emboldened! ”

Xie Yun'er asked worriedly, "Xianggong, do you need to go out of the city to escape?" ”

"There is no other place in Guangdong that is safer than Guangzhou City, and if this fire is set by a salt merchant looking for someone to set it, it is not a big deal, I am afraid that it was done by the people of the clan and the priest."

Shen Xi's face showed a bit of perseverance, "Cutting off people's money is like killing your parents, it is estimated that they treat me as an enemy of killing my father and mother, there will definitely be a trick, you stay in the backyard on weekdays, and water is prepared in each room, if there is danger, remember to escape through the window......"

Shen Xi himself is not set on fire very much, because he has a strong sense of crisis, and every time he stays in a place, he will think about what to do in advance if an accident occurs, even if the exit is blocked, what other escape path there is. But most of the women around him were raised in the boudoir, and they were good at knitting women, and they didn't know anything about crisis response.

Taking advantage of this juncture, he felt the need to instill some escape skills in his wife and concubine.

At this moment, there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves outside the post house, and Shen Xi felt that something was wrong, so he immediately got up and went to the front hall to check. When he arrived at the front, he saw Li Che, the commander of the capital, coming in military uniform, and the soldiers behind him were escorting a few men in Xuanyi.

"Lord Shen, the last general will send someone to search around the Salt Lesson Lifting Division, and find several suspicious people, most likely arsonists, please show me!"

Shen Xi didn't expect that Li Che would actually arrest the arson suspect.

However, Shen Xi is not interested in knowing who set the fire at all, either it is related to the Yamen of the Third Division, or it is someone who has interests in collusion with the Salt Sect Promotion Division, but with the previous lesson, most of the people who are sent out to carry out the task now are dead soldiers, and it is very difficult to get a confession from them.

Shen Xi said: "There is General Lao Li, but this official already knows it in his heart, so he might as well hand these people over to the prefecture and county yamen for interrogation, and the official will not personally interrogate." ”

Li Che's face was full of confusion: "Lord Shen, why is this?" ”

According to Li Che's thoughts, you are a governor, and you actually went to the county government court to try the case in order for a few people to report the robbery of the ship, and then investigated such a big case of official salt smuggling, and now someone wants to target you and set fire to the yamen to put you to death, you don't care?

Shen Xi smiled and said: "A lot of things are still official, this arson and burning of the yamen is a matter under the jurisdiction of the local government, and it does not involve salt classes and bandits...... Shoot the first bird! ”
